Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu Sa'id, who was the last Ilkhanid ruler and reigned from 1316 to 1335. During his reign, the Ilkhanate empire was facing significant challenges, including internal conflicts, external threats, and economic difficulties. Despite these challenges, Abu Sa'id was able to maintain the empire's stability and issue coins like this one, which feature the title "Ilkhan" and the mint location "Hisn" (which means "fortress" in Arabic). This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the Ilkhanate empire during a time of turmoil.
